LDS Church Historical Department

In addition to the Church’s library, there is a large church archives department containing many records not at the FHL. Among them are diaries of early Utah settlers and an extensive collection of official church records. For a clear discussion of the department’s holdings, see Glenn N. Rowe, “The Historical Department and the LDS Church,” in David J. Whittaker, Mormon Americana: A Guide to Sources and Collections in the United States (Provo, Utah: BYU Studies, 1995).
